About the artist

Untitled

Yevgen Zubkov (b. 1950)—a Kharkiv photographer. In 1973 graduated from the Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute (The National Technical University “Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute” today) and later started working as an engineer in VNDIPIChormet—Energoochystka (All-Union Research Institute of Black Metal—Ecological Certification Body). In the 1970s got engaged in photography, periodically earning a living with freelance commercial shootings. Gradually developed interest in art photography and got acquainted with the members of the Vremia group: at the so-called “Photobalka” (informal art market, where photographic enthusiasts used to gather) he first met Evgeniy Pavlov. Later he changed his occupation and got a job as a photographer at the Research Institute of Automatics in 1979-1983. His creative arsenal at that period included a wide range of techniques and approaches—from straight photography to overlays; a significant part of his artwork from the 1980s consisted of geometric street scenes.

In 1996 Zubkov moved to Canada, where he lived till 2015, finally returning to Ukraine.
